i don't think it has to sell out to guarantee a second date. it just has to sell well enough.

i dont think either the 2002 or 03 show sold out, though the room definitely wasnt empty. IIRC the fillmore show was originally going to be at the bill graham civic auditorium until they moved it due to ticket sales

i dont know whats wrong with us.

but seriously, underworld is very underrated (in every sense of the word) and to some extent are just plain out of most people's scope of awareness especially in a city like s.f. i think a lot of it stems from how the band promotes itself commercially on this side of the globe. a craptacular act like the crystal method (or a similar act) would sell their event out, primarily due to their constant propaganda stirring a mindless buzz which is easy to identify with.

underworld seems to be a bit underneath the radar (no point intended) when it comes to shoving marketing down your throat and in a lot of ways that’s a good thing. but in the interim a casual audience will oversight their existence and ability to put on a memorable set.

Hi there,

Tickemtaster is still showing general admission (floor) seats for Friday, SEP 7. Unless the whole gig is general admission, which is not common at The Warfield as the upstaris is usually reserved seating, then I would say it's not selling too well.

If Underworld doesn't sell out this first date I can't really see the 2nd date selling well at all or even going forward at all, as we hope it would. I mean, I know the 2nd date would be a SAT and all so maybe it will pull more peeps, but sheesh...

Ah joy oh glorious joy. This news turned an otherwise arduous day for me around a bit and makes me anticipate that weekend so much more.

so im assuming most of you lot are going to BOTH shows?

im in town for both shows, should i?

dubman · #70 08-21-2007, 05:37 PM

i'm really trying to. i bought tickets for the first one today (finally), but after some number crunching i'm going to have to sell some goods to feel okay about blowing $140 total on two shows. (plus train fare, and i'll have to get some merch after)

the additional fees all mounted up nicely to an extra $17.50 being tacked on for each ticket. fuckers.

anyway, i'll definitely find a way, i'm still just a bit scandalized by the price.
